The .Marquw, of- Salisbury addressed a feVbwded lheetiflg of the Primrofie League in Her Majesty's Theatre last night.' Lord Salisbury complained that his adw>6acy of coercion for Ireland had been grdntly overdrawn by tm political opponents, and uiged upon Parliament the necessity for guinting full powers to govern Ireland, which power? should be exercised firmly and with wisdom. In the Hou»o of Commons last night, a motion was adopted agieeing to set upart four d.iy< per week for tho discussion of the Government proposals for securing autonomy for It eland. Mr Gladstone, in speaking to the motion, expressed hU belief that the debate would occupy the most of next week. Mr Labouchere suggested that the House should assent to the second reading of the Bill, in order to affirm the principle of autonomy, on condition th:it the Government then pronged to withdraw" the Bill in its present formr ' The Marquis of Hartington, in addressing a public meeting last night at Bradford, Yorkshire, denied that he had in any way relaxed his hostility to the Home Rule Bill.
